SALAR International – Supporting Local Governance in Moldova

We support local governments in Moldova to improve public services, strengthen governance, and advance EU integration.

Gender Equality

Gender equality is a key principle for SALAR International. The organization works to integrate it across all initiatives, ensuring that policies and legal frameworks align with national and international commitments. The aim is to provide women, men, girls, and boys with equal access to public services.

Anti-Corruption

SALAR International continuously monitors corruption risks and implements preventive measures. The focus is on transparency, openness, and citizen engagement. Improving data collection helps strengthen an accountable system built on human rights principles.

Poverty Reduction

Poverty is approached as a complex issue that goes beyond income and includes limited opportunities and participation. SALAR International supports local self-governance and the development of resilient communities. This is achieved through decentralized democratic systems and the fair delivery of public services.

Human Rights

Local authorities play an important role in upholding human rights. SALAR International supports the improvement of public services and promotes participatory and transparent processes. In this way, it contributes to creating a non-discriminatory and accountable environment.

Sustainability

SALAR International focuses on achieving sustainable results that continue beyond the completion of projects. The organization promotes knowledge-based policies and supports institutional development. The goal is to create long-term, lasting change.

Conflict Sensitivity

SALAR International applies a conflict-sensitive approach across all its projects. This approach is based on international principles of participation and governance. Dialogue and collaborative solutions are encouraged to address challenges effectively.

Environment and Climate

SALAR International provides technical support and helps strengthen the capacities of local communities in the field of environmental protection. Its projects also include the establishment of service centers. These efforts contribute to environmental protection and climate change adaptation.
